Chapter 151

Of course, Su Ming had already figured out all that the old man could think of. It was because merchants were chasing profits, while pawnbrokers were in great need of contacts and reputation. They had done business in reverse, so it was impossible to refuse such temptation.

"The younger generation is formidable."

The old man wiped the water on his beard and came out from behind the counter and asked Su Ming to sit down and have tea.

He had no doubt that if the young white man was not in urgent need of money, he could go to the royal family to sell it himself. Of course, he would have nothing to do with him. However, the royal family often gives money slowly, and sometimes uses land or goods to pay for it. This is not what young people want.

As for why he went to pawnshop instead of the comprador company of foreigners, the old man also made up his mind, because the comprador company was often an intermediary and could not take so much cash to eat the jewelry.

Didn't the young man say that? He was in urgent need of money to buy a boat to go to sea, so he wanted cash.

The old man also had a sea boat. Although he knew that the missing ship was bound to be looking for a needle in a haystack, whether it was to save people or goods, the sooner the better.

"I'm flattered by the shopkeeper, but I don't know that this business can't be done well?"

Su Ming smiles faintly, raises the cup to blow the foam to drink, once again drinks the authentic tea, feels like has passed a lifetime so long.

"My little friend, I can't be flattered? I want to take over this business, but I don't know... "

"There was one piece of jewelry. The ancestors sold one piece and replaced it with a fleet, which spread all over the world. However, as time goes by, my nephew is eager to use money, so I would like to transfer the treasure to my uncle in the tens of thousands."

The old man stroked his beard and called himself "little friend". The white man called himself "little nephew" instantly. Is it popular for foreigners to get close to each other? It's a little too fast to climb down the pole.

Although this makes his whole body have goose bumps, but the price is just stuck in his psychological price.

Of course, the so-called tens of thousands is not copper money, but US dollars.

The price is 10000 US dollars, and the market has been indicated to him. The jewelry itself is world-class. He has been in pawnshop for more than 50 years. He has seen a lot of jewelry and jewelry, which will definitely not go unnoticed.

This young man is a pawnbroker. He is not a pawn at all. He may be a bit fishy, but he is blamed for not taking the pawn.

The old man's face changed and his beard was broken. Finally, he nodded and said to Su Ming with a smile, "good, would you like to accept Citibank's promissory note?"

Su Ming also laughs, this became, more relaxed than imagined, he has a lot of routines useless.

"Nature"

"let me prepare a little bit."

The old man sent the cashier to take care of it and left himself to chat with Su Ming.

"Hahaha..."

the two people looked at each other and laughed at each other. However, they were obviously different in race. However, they talked happily in the dialect of the Chinese dynasty, and the scene was strange.

the pawnshop is not big, but it has a deep foundation. I don't know which Chinese Chamber of commerce is behind me. Actually, it just took out a ten thousand US dollar promissory note in a short time.

Politely refused the old man's invitation to stay, Su Ming found the nearby Citibank to exchange cash.

He was wearing a coquettish Hawaiian Flower shirt and carrying 100 dollar bills. Franklin was smiling at him.

In fact, there is also a kind of gold certificate in this era, which is directly linked to the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve. One is 10000 dollars. But now Hawaii is just a rural area for the United States, so the large amount of money can't be spent at all.

Hawaii is not a city yet. It's just a bigger town.

Ten thousand yuan in this era is almost 800000 in Su Ming's life time. It's really terrible to fall down in time and space. Su Ming's profit is more than 100 times.

Pawnshops are certainly not at a loss. It is estimated that they will earn more by selling them to the Hawaiian royal family. However, Su Ming has no official identity, which is not convenient to argue with the royal family.

Naturally, the royal family is not at a loss when buying jewelry. Aristocrats are still aristocrats. Jewelry beyond the era is a symbol of face and identity. After losing the status of Hawaiian ruler, they need face now.

It can be said that this is a satisfactory deal for all parties.

Next, Su Ming is going to get his identity.

At present, there is no census and identity verification in the United States. In the 1920s, a life registration system was implemented. From birth, growth and death of a person, specific information was recorded in the state Census Bureau.

After 1939, President Roosevelt began to implement the social security number system. Its essence is an alternative ID card, which depends on whether paying taxes or pensions.

Hawaii's situation is more special. It was made a state only in 1950. Now it is not a colony or a puppet state. In any case, it is a unique existence.

It was the Hawaiian people who revolted themselves and overthrew the feudal monarchy and took the initiative to join the arms of the United States.

As for why some people see the army uprising as white? American warships cruising all over the sea? And some people in black suits sneak around?You must have read it wrong! Do you dare to say that again in front of 20000 Marines?

Su Ming looks very young now. As long as he pretends to be an American born in Hawaii, he can get a real identity record with some money. He can have a well-documented one.

It can be said that the early preparations are ready, and he will soon be able to go to the United States to carry out the layout.

He returned to the freighter, and Burd was still waiting for him. He was lying in a reclining chair with his fishing rod by his side.

The housekeeper and the housekeeper have not even come back to eat. He should not have the hair of the old man.

"Burd."

The captain put up his fishing rod and rubbed his eyes which were dazzled by the sea: "ah, it's a fine day today, isn't it?"? Then let's go. "

"You choose a place. I'm going back to the United States in a few days. Choose a more distinctive one."

"Yes, young people are always lazy here. It's so comfortable here. Let's try" Le Kou Mo Kou "

Burd nodded with a smile, full of British Gentlemanliness, as if to go to Buckingham Palace for a dinner.

Su Ming was not an omniscient. He had no impression of the so-called Le Kou Mo Kou. So he was led into downtown Honolulu by Burd and went to a small local restaurant.

Then he found out that Slade had not eaten it, but that it would change its name in the future.

In the future, its full name is papaya hamburger meat and egg gravy covered rice, referred to as Hawaiian GaiFan...

it is indeed a kind of food that can represent Hawaii. The main population composition of Hawaii is Americans, Japanese, Chinese and local people. Therefore, the food characteristics of different nationalities are gathered together to form this stew.

It's not bad. At first, it looks like Sichuan food, but it also tastes like seafood and fruit and cream, but it's much better than Cindy's stew.

Su Ming added another item to his wish list. When he arrived in New York, he would have an authentic Chinese meal.

As for now, let's take it as an expansion of your intelligence reserves, and remind yourself that you'd better not try foods that don't understand their names in the future.

Burd ate happily and didn't notice that Su Ming looked at him with pity.

What about money? In the first decades of my life, I ate fish and chips every day and looked up at the stars. Under the rule of the British dark food industry, money did not enjoy the happiness.

Two days ago, when he was running around the battlefield, Su Ming made do with it. Now he has money and leisure. Who wants to eat this kind of stew?

"Waiter!" Su Ming raised his hand and rubbed two fingers, calling out like a standard American. After attracting the attention of the local waiter, he ordered the order again: "two roast lobsters, another martini with ice, shake well, don't stir."

Su Ming wanted to taste 007's favorite wine for a long time. The world's best secret service agent's favorite wine. So the best mercenary also wanted to try it.

However...

the waiter's face was full of confusion, and he didn't seem to understand.

With a smile, Burd resolved the waiter's embarrassment, asked him to change Martini for pineapple plum sake, waved him to leave, and then explained to Su Ming in a low voice.

According to him, the original martini cocktail was invented around 1850, but now Hawaii lacks raw materials because it is not so developed. Martini needs to be mixed with gin and vermouth. The two wines are produced in Holland and France, which are just on the other side of the earth.

Because there are many sailors here, the most common wine is rum, but what sailors like is Cuban rum, which is too strong for mixing.

In his opinion, Su Ming may have come here to enjoy himself because of the prohibition of alcohol, but it is worthwhile to drink or drink wine with local characteristics.

Su Ming gave a dry smile, hoping that the wine would not be like "Le Kou Mo Kou"...
